Do we really have to go over this again?

Mueller did not indict Trump for obstruction of justice because OLC (Office of Legal Counsel) guidelines prohibit it.



Why Mueller said he couldn’t indict Trump, explained
The Justice Department has a long-standing policy that prevents federal prosecutors from charging the president with a crime.

"During his congressional testimony on Wednesday, former special counsel Robert Mueller noted that part of his decision to refrain from considering an indictment of President Donald Trump was attributed to a long-standing Justice Department policy: According to the agency’s Office of Legal Counsel, a sitting president cannot be charged with a federal crime.

“We, at the outset, determined that, when it came to the president’s culpability, we needed to go forward only after taking into account the OLC opinion that indicated that a sitting president cannot be indicted,” he said."

It is a testament to the tremendously effective misinformation campaign engaged in by right wing media that so many Trumpleheads still do not acknowledge the facts about why Trump was not charged with obstructing Mueller's investigation.

How nice it would be if the Trumpers would acknowledge Donnie’s corruption. It would be equally nice if Obamabots like you, would acknowledge his corrupt actions, including spying on Trump’s campaign and pushing the hoax that is Russiagate.

I'm happy to acknowledge Obama's many policy mistakes and errors while he was prez. But I can't abide the bullshit you are peddling.

From birtherism to 'treason': Trump's false allegations against Obama

Trump fueled his political career with an unfounded 'birther' theory and now pushes 'Obamagate' and 'treason.' Here are some of his falsehoods on Obama.

In a huge blow to Trump, the DOJ watchdog found no evidence to support the claim that the FBI spied on his 2016 campaign

Trump has repeatedly, baselessly alleged that the FBI spied on his campaign and that President Barack Obama had intelligence officials tap his phones.

That’s the thing about partisans, they can’t accept the obvious corruption by their leader, but believe all sorts of corruption by their opposition.

That's the thing about people who make assertions without an ability to substantiate them. They're intellectual cowards.

Do not care. Libs were spying and extorting Ukraine. Hypocrites.

Wrong, asshole.

Robert Mueller provides 'correction' to testimony about not charging Trump

Everything you post is DNC talking points, and it's all lies.

Because you're a partisan hack, no better than all the Trump twats you rail against.

There's a saying for that. It's, "my mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts."

Making false equivalences is the purview of little minds. If you're going to assert something back it up or STFU.

That’s the thing, my assertions have been substantiated.

But they haven't, and I challenge you to prove they have.
